How can we reduce the increasing number of porn viewers worldwide?
Firstly, the question arises: is porn really bad? Is watching porn really harmful to our physical health, mental health, and overall well-being? Just ask yourself… do some introspection. Don’t ask someone else; just ask yourself. Look inside you and see yourself: what thoughts come to your mind when you think about whether porn is good or bad? The answer to this question can vary for everyone because each person in this world is unique and an individual entity. Everyone has their own particular problems and perspectives. Therefore, the solution to every problem depends on the individual's conditions.
Now, let's discuss this problem in detail and try to understand whether this is a problem or if there is something else behind it.
